POD 10:

Well I over did it a bit yesterday. I picked up the living room, went to the grocery store, made dinner, and did the dishes and boy did it wear me out. I am now swollen more and my drain output is up. I have been in the recliner most do the day today. I read a book and have taken it easy. The hubbie took the kids to their dentist appointment so I can relax. I love my hubbie! He takes such good care of me!

My PS follow up is tomorrow. I hope that I can get this last drain out. My output isn't up so much that I don't think I can get it out. It should be ok. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Yay! I finally got a drain out today. I am hopeful that I will get the other drain out on Friday. I am feeling really good. I am not needing any pain medication. My only complaint is that I can't stand up straight. My back is killing me. I stand up and have to walk hunched over. The further I walk the tighter by abdomen seems to get and then my back muscles start to spasm. Anyone else experiencing this? In a way it is good I guess because it keeps me from doing too much.

The BA part has been an easy recovery. I got to get rid of the ace wrap today and wear just 2 sports bras. I can't complain. I am doing very well after such a rough week last week.

I didn't post anything yesterday because I felt miserable. I hurt all over. My drains were continuing to drain. My back muscles were screaming every time I got up to walk. I was I tears and was left wondering why in the world I did this.

Today, I am feeling much better. It is amazing how much difference one day makes. I got up this morning, took a Motrin, and took a shower. My husband helped to get me all bound back up. I am still having to walk hunched over, but I think that I am a little straighter than I was. My back muscles are still really sore with the poor posture when walking. Pain has greatly improved. I have taken Motrin all day. I just now took a Percocet and Flexeril to help me sleep tonight. My abdomen remains swollen.

I hope that tomorrow will continue to be a improvement.
